AAARGH I agree 100%! Last year I told a former associate that I'd gotten busted and they seized my phone, just to get him to stop calling me, because he was one of those guys who would try to sell you your own shit back, and then have the nerve to say 'don't be sending that shit back into my area'... afraid of a little competetion, buddy? Plus his bad habit of putting items other than his finger up his nose. Kinda lowers my trust level, that's for sure... starts getting dicey with any item that can quickly be turned into cash... What a prick. Anyway he never called again, so that's good! haha
Up here in the woods, though, everyone who has come thus far without proving himself to be a jerk has access to bascially the same gene pool, and it's very much a community effort. My good buddy was over for dinner last night and made the observation, "In what other industry does someone get busted, and discover that it is his 'competition' that has run to bail him out?"
It's true! We should consider ourselves to be all on the same team! Anyway, teammates don't steal from each other, and without the asshats trying to step all over you to make a buck, growing herb would be entirely the peaceful process it should be!
Okay end of rant... ;P
